Not Afraid - Mahee Parekh ABAE

[Intro] (I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid) Yeah (To take a stand, to take a stand) It's been a ride (Everybody, everybody) I guess I had to (Come take my hand, come take my hand) Go to that place to get to this one (We'll walk this road together, through the storm) Now some of you (Whatever weather, cold or warm) Might still be in that place (Just lettin' you know that you're not alone) If you're tryna get out (Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road) Just follow me, I'll get you there [Verse 1] You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper beforе I lay 'em But you won't take the sting out thеse words before I say 'em 'Cause ain't no way I'ma let you stop me from causin' mayhem When I say I'ma do somethin', I do it I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doin' this for me So fuck the world, feed it beans, it's gassed up if it thinks it's stoppin' me I'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt, undoubtedly And all those who look down on me, I'm tearin' down your balcony No ifs, ands or buts, don't try to ask him why or how can he From Infinite down to the last Relapse album He's still shittin' whether he's on salary, paid hourly Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him Whichever comes first, for better or worse He's married to the game like a "Fuck you" for Christmas His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, he's got the urge to pull his dick from the dirt And fuck the whole universe [Chorus] I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid To take a stand, to take a stand Everybody, everybody Come take my hand, come take my hand We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just lettin' you know that you're not alone Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road [Verse 2] Okay, quit playin' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in a rhythm for you to know it's a wrap You said you was king, you lied through your teeth For that, fuck your feelings, instead of gettin' crowned, you're gettin' capped And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back I promise to never go back on that promise In fact, let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was "ehh" Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground Relax, I ain't goin' back to that now All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack-blaow 'Cause I ain't playin' around There's a game called circle and I don't know how I'm way too up to back down But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out Thought I had it mapped out, but I guess I didn't This fuckin' black cloud still follows me around But it's time to exorcise these demons These motherfuckers are doin' jumpin' jacks now [Chorus] I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid To take a stand, to take a stand Everybody, everybody Come take my hand, come take my hand We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just lettin' you know that you're not alone Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road (Same road, same road) [Bridge] And I just can't keep livin' this way So startin' today I'm breakin' out of this cage I'm standin' up, I'ma face my demons I'm mannin' up, I'ma hold my ground I've had enough, now I'm so fed up Time to put my life back together right now [Verse 3] It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you So I could come back a brand-new me, you helped see me through And don't even realize what you did, believe me, you I've been through the wringer But they can do little to the middle finger I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers And drop dead: no more beef lingers No more drama from now on I promise to focus solely on handlin' my responsibilities as a father So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it You couldn't lift a single shingle on it 'Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up 'Cause I'm raisin' the bar, I'd shoot for the moon But I'm too busy gazin' at stars, I feel amazin', and [Chorus] I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid To take a stand, to take a stand Everybody, everybody Come take my hand, come take my hand We'll walk this road together, through the storm Whatever weather, cold or warm Just lettin' you know that you're not alone Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road (Same road, same-)
